Complete estimated time and date for both departure and return on the etravel request form

The travel agency assigns a reservation number to your itinerary which needs to be included on the etravel request form. The reservation is held for a period of up to 12 hours. The OSP Travel Office must receive your travel request and have time to process your request, authorize the designated travel agency to book the reservation, and issue the ticket.
